Hi All,
I joined Tech Mahindra for 5 days only and didn't find suitable timing for my project and emailed resignation mail to manager and HR. After that HR asked me to resign over portal but at the same time blocked my portal. After requesting many times they didn't unblock my portal and pretended like they want to unblock but there is some issue going on and marked my profile absconded. I have cleared fnf but they are not providing reliving letter but added pf amount also. What to do?
Hi how's the HBO and Reed exhibition project?

It was hard. Now I work at havas.
You need the right partners, yeah yeah the cliche of people with the skills you don’t have. But most importantly : contacts. A lot of them. Talent is key but if you haven’t created a network of strong potential clients it will be super hard.
First client was a friend recommendation.
How much money (less than 30k) : luckily not a lot as everyone was billable and we just had to buy our computers and rent our first office.
No regrets

I started an artist representation agency in 2007, let’s just say bad timing. Lost some money. Don’t regret a thing about it.
Mostly ppl who can afford to support themselves financially. Independent wealth or good investors.
It’s hard. Back-breaking hard. Be prepared to do a little bit of everything, a lot of what you’re best at, and then non-stop biz dev/networking/proposal-ing in your spare time. Of which you can expect to have both way too much and none at all, especially at the beginning.
Ditto the previous points about contacts. If this is something you think you want to try in the future, start networking your face off now. That’s way easier while you have a job. Otherwise, you’ll starve your first 12 months while you catch up on building contacts.
One upside is the hard startup costs are (relatively) low: you need a computer, your brain, and some subscriptions.
